A Comparative Study on Building Energy Performance between Movable and Fixed Shading Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of movable shading on building energy demands. A public building and a residential building with movable shading and fixed shading were modeled by the building energy use simulation software DOE-2. Cooling and heating energy demands were calculated. The results showed that movable shading is better than fixed shading.
